After many coats of color and a couple clear coats, it was finally time to put it back together. I had replaced much of the orignal components back in the mid-80's including a triple chain ring (24-34-48) Sekai crankset replacing the original 40-54 double ring crank. I run the the original 5 sprocket cluster (14-17-22-28-34) for the hills (gives 19" low gear) and a 6 sprocket cluster (13-14-16-18-21-24). And for steering, a set of upright handlebars on a 130mm SR stem and mountain bike type brake and shifters to make it into more of a hybrid bike. I had to machine some aluminum extensions for the end of the handle bars to give a long enough straight section to install some nice Ergon GP-1 grips for a little more hand comfort while riding.   (2/11)
